If so, you have BIOS updates pending.

For the sake of relevance, what OS are you working with?

Thanks,

Yes, that is the motherboard I'm working with and I'll update the bios.

OS I'm using is Windows 11.

I was able to find it on another thread.

In Bios, you can secure and Erase the SSD under advanced settings based on the motherboard - MSI has it as an option.

After I secure erased the SSD, I could see it on my Disk Management.

Thanks for the support!

It probably was added to Windows Storage spaces.
In this situation you go into windows Storage Spaces (Control Panel/Storage Spaces)
and delete storage pool.
